SUMMARY:CCI Lecture Series - Rick Eason
DESCRIPTION:UMAINE’S HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOONING PROGRAM \nDr. Rick Eason\nAssociate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering\nUniversity of Maine\n\nFriday\, November 9th\, 2018\, 2PM\n138 Sawyer Building Conference Room\n\nAbstract: Rick Eason\, an Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maine started his high altitude ballooning program in early 2011 with funding from the Maine Space Grant Consortium. Dr. Eason and his students launch high altitude balloons with payloads totaling up to 12 pounds into the stratosphere typically reaching altitudes of around 35 kilometers. The payloads are tracked and recovered after of a flight of around two and a half hours. To date\, he and his students have launched around 90 high altitude balloons with 100% payload recovery. In this presentation Dr. Eason will describe the high altitude ballooning activity and will relate some of his experiences.

SUMMARY:CCI Lecture Series - Justin Lapp
DESCRIPTION:USING SOLAR THERMAL HEAT FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE ENERGY DEMANDS\nJustin Lapp\nAssistant Professor\, Mechanical Engineering\nUniversity of Maine \nTuesday\, November 20\, 2018\, 2PM\n138 Sawyer Environmental Research Building \n  \nAbstract: In just 108 minutes the earth receives as much energy from the sun as humans consume in one year from all sources. What if we could harness that energy to power our world in a way that is not only free from CO2 emissions\, but is cheaper than current methods? By using the sun’s rays directly in places where thermal energy is required\, it is possible to make highly efficiency use of the solar resource. Dr. Lapp will present ongoing work to develop new generations of technologies which will allow industries like chemical\, cement and glass\, metal refining\, and fertilizer to use direct solar energy in place of fossil fuels.

SUMMARY:CCI Lecture Series  - Manuel Woersdoerfer
DESCRIPTION:BANKS AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION – A BUSINESS-ETHICAL ANALYSIS\nManuel Woersdoerfer\nAssistant Professor\nSchool of Computing and Information Science\, and\nMaine Business School\, University of Maine\nThursday\, November 29\, 2018\, 2PM\n138 Sawyer Building \n  \nAbstract: Banks and other financial institutions are among those agents in the global political economy which (co-)determine whether or not financial resources are used in an ethical and environmentally friendly manner. As such\, they are key actors in the transition towards an ethical and green (low-carbon or carbon-free) economy; that is\, by ‘voting’ with their money\, they ideally help catalyzing the process towards economic\, ecological\, and social sustainability. In this talk\, I will first take a closer look at the current relationship between the finance and fossil-fuel industries. After that\, I will analyze recent trends in the banking sector such as the divestment movement and climate or green bonds. Last but not least\, I will provide business-ethical arguments for the so-called business case for climate change mitigation (and adaptation).
